In the genre of heavy music, heavy metal just demands your attention with its raw power and pure adrenaline. Through the years, this now classic formula of loud sounds often played in minor keys for that eerie effect has morphed into several subgenres. This form of extreme metal was super-charged and turned into what is now death metal. Make no mistake; MASTER were the leaders, right from the beginning and continue to be at the top of their game. MASTER is Death Metal personified.
There are just a handful of innovators that have proven to have the sheer determination and drive to create the monumental sound of a band armed with their weapons of MASTER‘s destruction. Paul Speckmann has been there since the very beginning of death metal. A voice of the people and sending his messages loud and clear with constant touring and bringing his music to the world.
Among this group of audio assassins; Paul is gearing up for the next target of annihilation; A steady requirement of endless touring, recording, and writing his view of life as seen through his eyes. Paul creates songs that are topical for an audience he admires and respects. Paul and MASTER continue to terrorize, obliterate, and demonstrate the need to sanctify and satisfy the audience as this entity continues to grow.
